Trans-Atlantic Transcript, by Amand_r [Gen]

Why this must be read: This is amand-r's own contribution to this year's Highlander Lyric Wheel, which she moderates. For a story that's told completely through dialogue, and chat dialogue at that, it captures the characters perfectly, and there's even a plot! (At least, a second-hand plot.) It's also friggin' hilarious, right from the start, where JustAGuy101 is giving CullodenSucked pointers on chat. (Duncan likes emoticons, it turns out.) DeltaBluesMan and GoSpeedRacerGo show up to chat as well, and since it's Christmas, there's an undertone of holiday spirit -- even of holiday loneliness, since Duncan is Paris and Richie is in Verona. But they're all coming to Joe's for Christmas.

I tried to choose an excerpt from the story, and failed; it has to be read all at once. So just go and read it. Warning: Drinking coke or coffee while reading this can be hazardous to your keyboard.
